ABSTRACT:
A composition of two compounds, (E,Z)-8,10-pentadecadien-1-ol acetate and (E)-9-pentadecen-1-ol acetate, is a highly effective attractant for the male cranberry fruitworm. The novel composition provides a sensitive tool for detection of this pest. By attracting male cranberry fruitworm moths to field traps, the composition provides a means for detecting, surveying, monitoring, and controlling the cranberry fruitworm. The attractant composition can also be used as a direct control tool by dispensing it throughout the host crop canopy, thereby preventing male cranberry fruitworms from locating and mating with the females.
